Review:
"Excellent-Beard is a hugely playful novelist-Dry Bones is scabrous and profane, but also very human in a good way, and probably a little bit profound too" (Independent on Sunday)
"A roller-coaster philosophical journey of Stoppard-like brilliance-Combining angst and farce in equal measure, Dry Bones is a very English comedy: Graham Greene meets David Lodge" (Glasgow Herald)
"One of the most ingenious, resourceful and entertaining novelists in England" (Philip Hensher)
"'Beard's writing can be breathtaking'" (Daily Telegraph)
"'Richard Beard's prose is dry, nonchalant and fluent'" (Times Literary Supplement)
